Russian and Greek MPs
Overwhelmingly Reject Extradition!

RUSSIAN DUMA

Today the Russian Duma a resolution on the unacceptability of
extraditing Slobodan Milosevic to The Hague. This resolution,
whose exact wording we do not have, was adopted by a large
majority. There are 450 members of the Lower House but all are
never present. Legislation is passed by a majority vote if more
than 50% of deputies are present. In this case, the vote was 272
in favor of NO EXTRADITION, 77 against, 1 abstention. Thus, a
margin of nearly 4 to 1.

GREEK PARLIAMENT

The Greek Parliament is on summer vacation. Only 100 deputies
are present in Athens. Of these, in two days 80 signed a
statement strongly rejecting extradition. This has been presented
to the Yugoslav Ambassador in Athens.

Professor Velko Valkanov, Founder and Chairman
of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic,
ICDSM, as well as Chairman of the Bulgarian Committee for
Human Rights and President of the Bulgarian
Antifascist Union, has sent President Kostunica the
following short message:

"Esteemed MR. President:

The "sale" of Slobodan Milosevic would be the most
craven betrayal of the century. It would constitute a
disgrace for the entire Serbian nation. You must not permit
this to happen."

URGENT APPEAL!28
JUNE

TO THOSE WHO
HAVE DONATED TO OUR FUNDRAISING DRIVE - THANK YOU!

BUT EMPEROR'S
CLOTHES STILL URGENTLY NEEDS HELP!

The George Soros foundation does
not fund Emperor's Clothes. Our only source of money is people
like you. All contributions help, big and small.

Our work has expanded but our
income has not. We are now several months behind on long distance
and international phone bills.

All but local service has been
turned off.

We have other big bills too,
including for Lexis, our key research tool.

We use long distance for
interviews (if we need a translator, this involves a three-way
call) to consult with writers, to check the accuracy of
information and sometimes to discuss articles being translated.
We also use international calls to help write and edit articles
for media besides Emperor's Clothes.

Using international long distance,
we were able to stay in constant touch with the unarmed witnesses
guarding Mr. Miloshevich's house when it was attacked March 28th
and 29th. That is why you could read accurate news on Emperor's
Clothes - the only honest reports available anywhere.

After the attack, by using
international phone calls we were able to talk directly with
people involved in the negotiations between Mr. Miloshevich and
the current Serbian authorities. So we knew first hand that the
'NY Times' report that Mr. Miloshevich was suicidal during the
talks was a lie.

Because we need to use the phone
so much, our bills are well over a thousand dollars a month. Now
our long distance and international service has been turned off
because we owe almost $5000. We are in danger of losing phone
service altogether. In addition, we owe over $1500 to Lexis, a
key research tool, which allows us to check the accuracy of
newspaper excerpts and quotes over the past 20 years.

If everyone who cares about
Emperor's Clothes chips in, we'll be out of trouble in no time.

Any help you can send will be
greatly appreciated! $20, $50, $100 or $1000 - it will all help.
